Purohit discussed making a new school in Hallomajra and asked for Class 9 and 10 students to be sent to the government school in Makhan Majra in the meantime.

Pal said the UT administration will arrange for school buses to take these students to Makhan Majra.

Notably, a second wing of the school was to be built for which the tin shed had been put up in 2008 to accommodate the increasing number of students, but the proposal to build the school was dismissed as the land was right next to a major road.

UT engineering and education department officials have been asked to submit a report on this issue.
